[QUOTE="Hank77, post: 73734243, member: 378311"] He isn't just declaring an emergency, he is taking funds that the Congress has appropriated for other puropses. Neither the Constitution or the bill you speak of, gives any President this authority. He has to ask the Congress to divert those funds to his purposes. That is why Rand Paul is voting with the Dems. He knows if Trump is allowed to do this without a fight that a Dem. president could divert funds under an emergency declaration for say climate change or single payer health insurance. If Reps. don't vote against Trump on this, even against a veto, they will pay the price, and some of them are smart enough or gutsy enough to vote in their own interests. [/QUOTE]
